hello, cupcake!

The last few weeks have been rough for hello, cupcake owner Tina Miller. She just opened hello, cupcake in downtown Tacoma. Not only did she have to rush to get everything ready so the shop could open last Thursday, but then the doors opened. The flood came in. The shop had to

Less is More

Remember when you were in junior high and you’d go to the mall and see this rad shirt that just might turn you into the coolest person alive?  Just looking at it took your breath away, and the price tag did the same to your mother.  What happened to that

Tequila

Once only a drink for bandoleros, tequila has made a name for itself beyond the Mexican border, most commonly in the form of a margarita.  Matador is home to more than 70 tequila labels, making it one of the largest tequila collections in the Pacific Northwest.  The dimly lit bar

The grill of your dreams

Some things (your recurring sex dreams about Al Gore) you like to keep on the “DL.”  Other things are definitely worth mentioning. Like Dave’s Meat and Produce on I Street in Tacoma.  The North End shop has been open only since last November, but business is booming.  And the Weekly

Clearing the air

Throughout my 25 years of existence, I’ve taken many a road, and I’d say I’ve learned my way around.  For example: pretty sure the road to hell is paved with my Nordstrom receipts.  And the way to a man’s stomach?  Screw baked goods.  It’s through his NCAA bracket … or

Tea-Town

Holy coffee shops batgirl!  If I see another Starbucks or Tully’s, I’m promptly moving back to Ohio.  But people around the world are ditching their morning cup of joe for its herbal alternative.  Although I’m not a big fan of hot beverages, unless it’s chocolate, I admit that the health
